Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 369 "Firing a shot"

Three days after Princess Pingyang announced that she would thank guests behind closed doors, the King of Qin participated in the court meeting with the relatives of the concubines in the harem, committed illegal things, occupied fertile land, and bought Liang as slaves.However, Yin Ashu, the father of Concubine Yin De in the palace, is not among them.

At the court meeting, the sage was furious, and ordered the King of Qin to deal with it according to law, and ordered the relatives in the harem to clear up the good land;

Xue Lang also participated in the court meeting. Looking at King Qin's face at that time, it was as dark as the bottom of a pot on the spot.Xue Lang also felt disgusted as if he had eaten a fly——

He thought of the direction of King Qin's investigation, but he didn't expect that Yin Ashu, who was so arrogant and domineering, didn't do these two taboo things.

In the Tang Dynasty, taxation was based on the household as the unit, and the land equalization system and rent adjustment were the basis for implementation.Taxation is a matter of concern to the world, no matter who offends it, it’s fine if it’s not found out, the king of Qin has the evidence, and the sage can only investigate if he is still participating in the performance at the court meeting.

This is conspiracy!

Even if the sage knows it, he can't oppose it, he can only follow the trend.However, thinking about it, the sage was a little upset, otherwise he wouldn't have rewarded Yin Ashu immediately.

The reward is not heavy, it's just a few bolts of silk, but it's so disgusting that I can't even say it.It's no wonder that King Qin's face was black all the time, and Xue Lang couldn't laugh anyway.

After the court, the two looked at each other in silence, you looked at me, I looked at you, didn't know what to say, Xue Lang had a serious face, Qin Wang secretly gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "I lost this game, Lao Youyang told Sister that Erlang was incompetent and let Sister down!"

Xue Lang sighed: "It's not that our army doesn't work hard, but that the enemy is too cunning, it's not a crime of war!"

Xue Lang thinks that the saint is not without punishment. After all, he is still the emperor, so it is impossible to turn a blind eye to such violations of law and discipline, which may corrupt the foundation of the country. However, he may still remember that the investigation was also forced by the King of Qin and Princess Pingyang. The embarrassment and unhappiness when riding a tiger, that's why Yin Ashu was rewarded in the end to warn King Qin.

Qin Dynasty Xue Lang nodded, turned and left the palace.Xue Lang looked back at the majestic palace, shook his head and sighed, and left the palace——

This matter, based on Princess Pingyang's management in Chang'an City, should soon reach her ears. I don't know if she will be angry, so let's go and see.

After exiting the city gate, Xue Lang turned to the Princess Mansion.Princess Pingyang's injury recovered quickly under Su Han's meticulous care. After recuperating for a few days, she no longer needed to rest in bed. After all, no bones were injured.

When Xue Lang arrived at Princess Pingyang's mansion, Chuxue came back from the garden after cutting a large bouquet of crabapple flowers. Princess Pingyang held scissors and was trimming flower branches and preparing to put vases.

Xue Lang was a little hesitant——

Is this the news from the DPRK meeting?

"Why don't you come here? What are you doing standing there?"

Talking too much with Xue Lang, Princess Pingyang talked a lot in vernacular.Inserting the flower branch into the vase, without raising his head, he said.Xue Lang patted his head, walked over and sat down, watching Princess Pingyang arrange flowers.Princess Pingyang put the last flower into the vase, looked at it for a while, then raised her head and asked Xue Lang: "How is it?"

There was also a calm smile on his face.Xue Lang smiled, looked at Princess Pingyang's work, and nodded: "I think it's quite beautiful."

Princess Pingyang smiled lightly, handed the scissors to the maid next to her, and asked someone to put the vase away. She washed her hands with the warm water brought by the maid, and took a dry cloth towel to wipe the water off her hands. , while saying: "Why don't you speak?"

Xue Lang endured it, and said straightforwardly: "Erlang's investigation is over. Although some violators were found, Yin Ashu was not among them. The saint was furious in court and ordered the King of Qin to investigate thoroughly, and reward Yin in court. Rat, reward him for obeying the law."

Xue Lang carefully looked at Princess Pingyang's expression, fearing that she might be angry, but in the end, she didn't show any strange expression, and didn't even move her brows. Seeing Xue Lang's cautious look, he actually smiled and said: "It turns out that you are worried about this. Don't worry, I'm not angry. I know Aye's temperament. After the results of Erlang's investigation came out, I knew that Aye would reward Yin Ashu. It's okay, but I lost a son first." , the future is long, there is no need to worry."

Knowing Princess Pingyang's temperament, Xue Lang is good at nourishing her qi, and she will definitely not be wronged because of such things. Seeing that she is as calm as before, she is also relieved.Because Xue Lang didn't come in through the small gate today, it was not easy for Xue Lang to stay, so he talked with Princess Pingyang for a while, then left.

Princess Pingyang nodded and asked Xue Lang to be sent out.After Xue Lang left, he looked at the vase that had just been checked and ordered: "Call Rugui to come, and send the begonias I just planted to the King of Qin."

"Here!"

After a while, Rugui came in and ordered people to hold the vase, without any intention of avoiding people's eyes. Although it was not a fanfare, it was still open and aboveboard to send the vase to the Qin Palace.

However, the situation in Beijing did not return to calm because of the end of King Qin's fanfare investigation. Instead, the situation became more tense, all because of the battle report just received——

Tuyuhun sent troops to harass Fangzhou, Taozhou, Minzhou and other places in the Tang Dynasty.Fang Dangshu, the governor of Fangzhou, fled to Songzhou.

When Xue Lang heard about the battle report, he felt a sigh that it had finally come, but also couldn't help feeling a little worried.The Zhengshitang had long been prepared for Tuyuhun's change. Now that Tuyuhun finally chose to send troops, thinking about it, the previous arrangements will be dispatched one by one!

Jiang Lin and Ye Qing... are going to battle!Sure enough, during the court meeting, the sage issued an edict ordering Ye Qing, the governor of Qizhou, to lead his troops to rescue Minzhou.

The big machine of the imperial court started to run quickly.After the court meeting, Xue Lang sent people to report to Jiang Lin's daughter-in-law. He was in the Ministry of Finance, worked overtime overnight, dispatched food and salaries from various granaries, and did a good job in logistics.

After eating and living in the Ministry of Civil Affairs for three days in a row, the preliminary work was considered finished, and Xue Lang's work was temporarily concluded, and only then did he have the opportunity to go home and rest.

Pei Ju looked at Xue Lang's dark eyes, and said, "Youyang, you've worked so hard, go home quickly, I'll take a make-up bath tomorrow, just in time to take a rest."

Xue Lang was not hypocritical, he bowed his hands to Pei Ju and went home.After returning home, I insisted on soaking in a hot bath, and my hard shoulders showed some signs of softening. I dragged myself exhausted and fell onto the bed, and fell asleep without knowing anything.

This sleep, I didn't wake up until the next day, and when I woke up, Su Han pulled me over to feel the pulse. After I got the pulse, I directly poured Xue Lang a bowl of ginseng tea, and had a full breakfast. , Xue Lang generally doesn’t have a good appetite, Su Han is like the big eater in the past, after eating, he said to Xue Lang: “It’s a rare holiday, seeing you are timid, why don’t you go out for an outing while the weather is fine. How about a visit to a secluded place?"

Xue Lang stretched his waist and nodded: "Alright, I haven't brought buns for a long time and they went out for a walk. While resting, I went to the Zhuangzi outside my city to relax. When I passed by, I also stopped by to see sweet potatoes, potatoes , The growth of cotton."

Having to work even on holidays, Xue Lang felt that he was also very hard.Make up your mind, order to go on, the man will go out, there will be less trouble, and he will be ready in a while, get on the carriage, and bring the buns and steamed buns with him.
